Nope. There is no facility for selective scraping. It is all or nothing.

For you watched status and play counts you can use WatchedList addon. It works best when the library is correctly scraped and includes IMDB ID's as one of the UniqueID's... https://kodi.tv/addon/program-add-ons-sc...atchedlist

As for "other data" that will all be lost.

FWIW, I save my artwork locally first. I do this by going to TMDB and fanart.tv, and choosing my artwork, right-click, save as. Then I scrape my movie and immediately export to nfo files, make edits to the nfo file if needed. I do all this on my test setup, then I move it across to my HTPC and scan it into the library. Sounds like a lot of work, but it takes approx 2 minutes for a movie.
Now I am completely self-sufficient. I have all my data as I want it and the artwork I chose and no longer need to rely on remote sites.

Of course, doing that now for 2000 movies + tv shows is a bit much.
